Hydraulic system details

[jlsanborn]

I anxiously await my owner's manual. I've had my tractor for about six months now and am ready for the 50hr. Dealer picked it up last week for some warranty work and is supposed to return it with a manual included!
I'm most curious about what information on the hydraulic system is detailed within and should I just go ahead and order the service manual. I'd like to add a cylinder to the back blade and another at the top link for the scraper. I'm also going to build my own wood splitter for the 3pt. I know Kioti offers the remote kit and also some kind of hose kit. I'm not clear on where the Kioti remote valve would mount, but some of what I've seen on here just looks kind of akward. I have access to all the adapters and hose ends I'd need and can buy hydraulic components at oem price levels. I'm leaning towards an electric directional valve that I could mount cleanly, away from the operator's area. I like the idea of a rocker switch in the dash rather than a big-o lever to snag my hammer loop (laugh if you've done that before!). I'd also utilize ridgid hydraulic tubing where possible to get out to the QDs if the factory hose kit is ugly.

Adding the Kioti rear remote kits to a CK30 is pretty easy. I know cuz I did it. There are a couple of thread that talk about it. Don't really need the manual to install as it comes with own directions.

As for a self engineered solution - not a clue, but have fun.

Hard to believe this, but the Hydraulic valve kits from KIOTI could be considered a "DIY Kit". It is very compact - neatly assembled.

They come with excellent directions, the bracket, proper valves, QD's, and steel line you are mentioning.

It will be very hard for you to hang your "hammer loop" because on the CK27-35 series the valves are behind the loader control valve - in front of the 3-point hitch.

We are installing two rear remotes on a CK27 today!
